Use Cases

Migrate Applications

Cloud Volumes Service makes it easy to migrate Enterprise applications and Microsoft Windows applications to the cloud that need NFS and SMB file share to store file application or user data. Together NetApp and Google Cloud enable you to complete your application projects in the cloud in less time with less resources, higher quality and lower delivery risk.

Simplify Cloud Development

Cloud Volumes Service can be used in numerous ways to simplify new application development and deployment projects. Powerful data management capabilities accelerate common dev workflows like source code repository copies & clones, continuous integration builds, artifact management and configuration management.

Data Analytics

Extract value from unstructured file datasets through analytics. Quickly create fast data lakes and leverage GCP compute for analytical processing. Clone massive datasets in seconds to provide each data scientist their own copy. No charges for get/put operations.

NFS File Services

Migrate Unix/Linux applications quickly and easily without refactoring. Cloud Volumes Service for GCP is a highly available and enormously scalable platform for creating cloud-based NFS file systems. The extensive Cloud Volumes Service features help users easily migrate applications to GCP that require a NFS filesystem interface and a shared filesystem for data and give them the best platform to develop and maintain a file storage solution in the cloud.
Agile DevOps

Cloud Volumes Service for GCP rapidly creates writable clones of existing data volumes. Data in the clone can then be added to, updated, or deleted without a affecting the primary storage. When testing is complete, the clone is dropped to free up the resources it was using. Cloud Volumes Service for GCP supports the use of multiple clones of the same source file environment concurrently.
High Performance Storage

Cloud Volumes Service for GCP offers three service levels (standard, premium, extreme) that can be changed non-disruptively on demand. You are guaranteed to find the right performance fit for your applications and adjust as the nature of your applications change. Performance for each Cloud Volume scales with the amount of allocated capacity, so performance is not limited as your dataset size grows. You can also increase/decrease the allocated capacity on the fly as well - without having to worry about adding/deleting underlying nodes.
Cloud Migration and Synchronization

NetApp Cloud Sync service offers a simple, secure, and automated way to migrate your data to any target, in the cloud or on your premises. Whether it’s a file-based NAS dataset (NFS or SMB), Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) object format, or any other cloud provider object store, Cloud Sync can convert and move it for you. Once your data is transferred, it’s fully available for use on both source and target. Cloud Sync continuously syncs the data, based on your predetermined schedule, moving only the deltas, so time and money spent on data replication is minimized.
